@markpatton1 @brendangdunne1 (Altho' are now ten L11th-12thC dinars from England, mainly Spanish etc, so possible that via that route too?)
@caitlinrgreen @markpatton1 Al-Idrisi was a European, e.g.: when he wrote about Kipchaks he used their European name: Cumans.
@caitlinrgreen he neither used their Turkish name: kipchak, nor their Slavic name: Polovsty. He was the 1st one in Arabic used that name.
